By the year 2006, the population of the state of Oregon was over 10 percent Latino as a result of
Latin American immigration, primarily from Mexico. While Latin American immigration to Oregon has
been occurring since the 19th century, the growth in the Latino population has been greatest since the
1990s. Latino immigrants have settled throughout the state and make contributions in many cities and
towns. Latino children were about 15 percent of the state’s population under age 18 in 2006, and Latino
births were 20 percent of the total births in Oregon. At the current growth rate, the Oregon
Department of Education projects that 28 percent of student enrollment in the state will be Latino by
the year 2020. .......This conference was noteworthy in that the organizers used its planning as a means of reaching
out to Latino communities throughout the state, a process that resulted in community leaders and
advocates committed to playing an active role in this event. The key issues discussed in the panels were
identified during a process of community consultation coordinated by a community advisory board.
Over the previous eighteen months, the organizers conducted a series of public events that drew a
diverse public including Latino immigrant students and families, immigrant rights advocates and
community leaders, health care providers, human service providers, educators, participants in the
justice system, academics, students, and others who work with immigrant populations.
Conference Sponsor: the Center for the Study of Women in Society and the Women in the Northwest
Initiative’s project on Gender, Families, and Immigration. Conference Co‐sponsors: the Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics, the School of Law, the College
of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education, the Office of the Provost for International Affairs and
Outreach, the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research, the Office of the Provost, and the Office
of the Vice Provost for Institutional Equity and Diversity.
